A post-doctoral position in ribosome biochemistry is available for a qualified candidate to work on the development of in-vitro translation assays with purified ribosomes. The assays to be developed will provide an analytical assessment of specific steps in mRNA translation (decoding, peptide-bond formation, translocation) in wild-type and mutant prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes. The ultimate objectives … [More Info]

Mobile DNA is DNA that can change its position within a genome. It is an integral component of most bacterial genomes, and also implicated in the spreading of drug resistance genes among pathogenic bacteria. Why does mobile DNA persist in genomes? On one hand, mobile DNA may be a very effective parasite, replicating itself at … [More Info]

A three-year position is available at the Department of Molecular Biosciences (IMBV) on the project Personnel for biological Raman and magnetic circular dichroism studies funded by the Research Council of Norway.
